GO HOME, screenplay adapted from Sohrab Fracis acclaimed novel. Logline: Caught in the US backlash to the Iran hostage crisis, a Parsi Indian grad student, Viraf, coming of age in campus town Newark, Delaware, battles contemporary Cowboys-versus-Indians xenophobic violence, oppressive authority, and the powerful tug of his motherland India—personified by his ex-girlfriend Maya, while his flower-child, band-groupie neighbor Ali embodies the counterculture love-and-peace pull of early-’80s America—on a transnational quest to find home, his “perfect place.”
